How does the PicoSure procedure work?
PicoSure laser focuses on your problem areas whether it’s brown spots, sun damage, freckles, pigmented lesions or acne scars. PicoSure offers a gentler treatment. In the past, lasers have relied on intense heat energy to remove pigment from the skin, which may be painful and lead to significant skin redness and downtime.
Why PicoSure Laser Treatment?
It’s important to consider your options. Face-lifts, fillers, and toxins are associated with significant downtime, risks, and side-effects. Patients often consider these treatments a “last resort.” The first step to achieving a more youthful appearance, or just tweaking some trouble-spots may be a PicoSure laser treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes about one hour and is performed in your doctor’s office.
